Product Description:

The abundance of information concerning research on the development of the brain in young children can be overwhelming. Some of the information is quite technical and rooted in the basic sciences, which can be difficult to understand. Other pieces of this information have the ability to excite our imagination as we begin to understand the learning potential of infants, toddlers and young children. As educators it is our responsibility to take this information and apply it to our educational practice as we interact with young children and families. If used appropriately this information can and will have a significant effect upon our practice. This packet is an effort to present basic information and provides a starting point for colleagues to understand the intriguing world of the development of the brain. Information is also provided that will give some guidance in the development of educational policy and the hows and whys a community should support early education.
